They remove themselves, voluntarily. I have a problem with censorship by Twitter or Facebook because of their near-monopoly status on social media, but I have no problem if some small company serves their small target audience with censorhip that they choose themselves.
As a disclaimer, I'm a Christian, with a catholic upbringing. I like religions, I think it's an important part of human life, it's just that they can be very dangerous as well.
Umm, one of the core principles of religion is providing a framework for mortality. I'd say it's exactly within the scope of religion.
The practical implication of giving religious leaders "too much power" is a cost of religious freedom.
For a more international version of this, see Eurovision and the refusal of various Arab countries to broadcast the Israeli entries at all - which led to said Arab countries being excluded from it for refusal to comply with the rules.
Are you suggesting that we should force people to watch things they don't agree with?
That isn't exactly what you said, but seems to suggest it.
I agree that taking the movie, editing it, copying it, and selling it-- is and should be illegal. But other solutions like client side indices of what to skip or mute don't harm the producer and are not editing of the copyrighted material itself.
That is explicitly what I'm avoiding saying, because obviously that's an illiberal and unworkable idea. In fact, I'm not trying to mandate anything at all. Not every observation is a criticism, not every criticism is a threat.
It's more complicated than that.
The right not to listen to things you don't like applies equally to someone who doesn't listen to rap music because too much of it demeans women; and someone who doesn't listen to rap music because too much of it is by black people.
But if those two people announce those tastes in public, they should expect different responses for obvious reasons!
I don't see why it should be illegal at all. Assuming:
1) The original owner gets paid for each copy sold
2) End customers are clearly informed that the edited version has been edited.
